I had all of these descriptive adjectives whirling around in my head when I first laid eyes on this. Then I sat down to write and all that I can get out is WOW! Yeah, WOW! about sums up the gorgeous pattern Sarah has created with Paisley Patterns. It's hard to believe that the entire thing was created with just one stamp set. Using the Folk Art Alphabet die to add her sentiment vertically was a genius decision. The placement allows more of that fantastic stamped pattern to show.

If you loved that one, then you're in for a treat on this one as well!

Another beautiful display of pattern stamping here. She's demonstrated how versatile these images are by pairing them with another floral set, Embroidered Bouquet. The gold accents are an amazing compliment to Ballet Slippers and Cranberry Crush, don't you think?

Sarah's last card is just as amazing. It's an awesome atypical masculine design in my opinion.

I love the rustic & natural elements paired with the crisp contrast in colors. Stamping the foliage in gray is the perfect way to use floral images without being overtly feminine.

I told you that you would love them. If you love Sarah's style, be sure to stop by her blog to see more of her work. We will have more from Sarah tomorrow, so be sure to check back then!
